Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Seeds


Silver Dollar Eucalyptus
LET990 Silver Dollar Gum ( Eucalyptus polyanthemos )
Foliage used for dried arrangements. Has fragrant leaf. Called the silver dollar tree, as its young juvenile foliage is similar to that of Eucalyptus cinerea and also known as Redbox Gum. The leaves, which smell the same as Eucalyptus cinerea, droop a bit more, however, and end with a point. There the physical similarities stop. This species grows larger than Eucalyptus cinerea and can reach a maximum height of 75 feet in the wild, with a spread of around 45 feet.
The leaves lose their round shape as they mature and become more elongated.
It does not grow as a shrub but can grow as a garden tree if space allows. In the winter, the tree produces masses of white flowers that are showier than Eucalyptus cinerea's blooms. Tolerant of drought and pollution, this tree is traditionally most valued for its hard, attractive wood, which has been used for building railways.

Hardy for zones 8-10. It also can be tub grown for foliage in cooler zones.
